Check Out My Media Center Hacks in Oreilly's Big Book of Windows Hacks
I finally got my copy of OReilly's Big Book of Windows Hacks and I'm pretty excited because I contributed some of the Media Center hacks included in the book. This is a great book that has a ton of useful hacks for both Windows XP and Vista covering everything from email to Media Center. Here are the hacks I contributed:
Hack #139: Remove Commercials from Recorded TV Shows
Hack #140: Make Your Own TV Mashup
Hack #141: Burn Recorded TV Shows Directly from Windows Media Center to DVD
Hack #142: Rip DVDs into Media Center
Some pretty good hacks, if I may say so myself; of course, I might be biased because I wrote them. It's a good book to pick up and I don't get any commissions so this is an unbiased review.

Hello,
I have a friend who is using Media Center and then plays back on his Xbox. Thing is his Xbox wigs out if the file size is to big. Some of the movies he has recorded also records closed captioning and other extras. Is there a way to have Media Center drop those extra items or set it to record in a different format which might save space on the compression?
